After getting together with a friend of mine and putting all our Roland toys together I realized that the mc202 is like the mother ship of all the xox's. If you want to control your tb303 with an sh101,tr909,etc, you can't because it only has a din sync in, however with the mc202 you can control any of the xox's. I can see how Roland must of imagined it back in the 80's a table filled with little Roland modules all playing in sync, and with the mc202 as the master of ceremonies(sequencing everything.) This was very important back then because when the mc202 came out unless you had an expensive sequencer, there wasn't very many midi/ cv gate converters on the market. Maybe they made the 202 this way on purpose so that all the keyboard fiends would have to go buy an mc202 unless they had like an msq700 sequencer. So back in the days before everyone was making midi/cv retrofit kits, you had either two choices to sequence your gear. Buy a sequencer for a whole bunch of money, or buy an mc202.

Very good to make some dark and happy electronic music.

But I have some difficult to work with it, to save patterns.

If some one can't say my how I can find the user manual send me a mail.
